ORGANIC HONEY

The beekeeper should be distinguished for his passion for his profession or occupation, his love for the bee, respect for the environment and follow correct beekeeping practices. Some of them are:

The hunt for blooms, the good queen, the necessary inspections, keeping the products of the hive clean from chemical residues, ensuring water for the bees, attention to the honey harvest, its heating and its packaging.

The application of all these results in a product that is pure, natural, organic and unprocessed.

Honey is organic by nature and can only be spoiled by human intervention.

The difference between organic honey produced with proper beekeeping practices of conventional beekeeping and certified organic honey is that the latter is controlled and certified by specific agencies and is the only one that can carry the name "organic honey" on the label.

In Greece, only 1% of beekeepers are certified organic honey producers. In the rest of Europe this percentage is also very low, ranging from 0% to 16%

The reason for the low percentages is the high certification price demanded by the certification bodies.
